Stung by Duryodhan’s criticism that he is being too lenient, Bhishma unleashes a massacre so devastating that the Pandava army begins to crumble. In one of the most iconic moments of the epic, Lord Krishna loses patience with Arjun’s hesitation and breaks his own vow of non-participation, rushing towards Bhishma with a chariot wheel to destroy him. The episode concludes with a shamed Arjun stopping Krishna, renewing his own promise to fight, and unleashing a counter-attack that decimates the Kaurava forces by sunset.
